12th region Basketball

 

February rolls in with the 12th Region as wide open as it has been in a few years. The road to Rupp begins in a little more than two weeks and there is no clear favorite as to who will cut down the nets. The top two teams fell in 12th Region play last week and there is a new #1 this week. Can the Mercer County Titans hold on to the top spot or will they be bounced as Pulaski County and Southwestern were? It’s gearing up to be a great month of basketball and the end will be here before we know it. Here is this week’s 12th Region rankings and review.

With Danny Butt out for PC how will this reshape the 12th region?

 

It doesn't change much for me. In their district I think they could lose their first game with or without Danny Butt in the lineup just like I think they could still win region with or without Danny Butt in the lineup. I think the 12th is that wide open this season. No clear cut favorite.
